An Interesting Project

I just happened upon "One Lapbook Per Child" while I was facebooking and I have to say, I'm not quite sure what I think of it. I love the rugged exterior. It appears to be a wonderful machine -- low energy, lightweight, etc. And I love that it can help in schools around the world. But I was troubled by a part of the ad where it asks why we are giving lapbooks in places where there is no water. And they nicely answer, "education." As if education will help them get water. Are they serving water in schools? Probably. Maybe that's where they're getting their water. Or maybe they are teaching kids how to leave their cultures and go to places where water is abundant. I suppose they want us to think they are teaching new farming techniques or new skills that will help them get paying jobs. But what good will all of that do if they can't get water? Maybe you know more about the project than I do. I'll attach a link to it. And maybe I'm missing the whole point. But for some reason, I'm getting the feeling that they are touting technology over an agrarian lifestyle. And as one who desperately longs to return to a simpler life, I don't know that a free laptop is the answer.
